Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino’s loss prevention department is collaborating with the FBI to combat a long-standing problem of petty theft, says a tribe official. Restaurants and vendors lose thousands of dollars each year due to these cowardly acts. Interestingly, the most commonly stolen items are the porcelain chopstick holders from recently opened restaurant, Tao. Noah Tepperberg, Tao Group co-founder, says, “we are working with the feds and their facial recognition software and have identified a group of thieves from the Glastonbury area. We have to make an example of them to deter future criminals.”
